Its an "idea" but it doesn't work. The reason it is controversial to me is because it allows a continuing narrative that covid is waiting in the wings ready to explode at any time and it encourages people to see fear or potential danger in every interaction they have and this is not the case...

All these excuses you come up with....just because you are embarrassed to wear a mask :ROFLMAO: Mask wearing is effective, the evidence proves it. Come on man up and admit you are wrong.....we are all getting bored of your endless hogwash.:) I don't think this is the place for ad hominem...

I wouldn't expect a surgeon who is healthy to need to wear a mask, no. If he had a virus he would be ill and probably not doing the operation.

Dr Giridhara R Babu, professor of epidemiology at the Public Health Foudnation of India, says the country has passed the peak of the current wave of infection, but official case numbers might not be accurate. India is still recording around 260,000 new cases a day - down from above 400,000 10...

If masks are effective then surely no need to social distance?

However all the places where they are not wearing masks appear to demonstrate no real difference... All this "evidence" of masks reducing infection hasn't seemed to make any odds to the rise in UK covid cases after masks came in. Covid will have another seasonal triggering later on in the year...

We can all agree its a nasty virus. We ought to be able to agree it is particularly nasty for over 65's. It is nastier again the older you get, the more comorbidities you have etc. None of this is new. As I've said before there are 1000 deaths a day with TB in India. But even if there is an...

It says that date in the article however you don't like it Yes there are numerous views and you are entitled to put yours and I do mine.

I don't think Lockdowns are effective. The other point is the corollary damage of them too. We had pandemic plans and we ignored them to follow Chinese style telly. Some NPI's help for sure but they don't need to massively intrusive. The simple message that old people needed to be a lot more...

This link is 8 months old. I don't rate it at all. This is the quality of the article " Confidence in masks grew in June with news about two hair stylists in Missouri who tested positive for COVID-19". Its ridiculous. That is not "the science"

I'm awfully sorry Robin but you are wrong https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/second-covid-wave-slowing-down-in-india-5-charts-suggest-worst-could-be-behind-us/articleshow/82660558.cms

So if there isn't any evidence that masks are stopping spread and you say there is any evidence. What do you think they are for? (my own view is to force compliance and foster the idea there is a deadly virus about to kill everyone)

Except they don't really do this either. They won't fall off a cliff. They will slowly decline. Viral curves are well documented. Covid 19 is no different to other coronavirus'.

Indian cases of Covid peaked on May 6th and now are slowly declining. Guess who was bang on? I'll give you a clue - it wasn't Robin in his bedroom. No lockdown there either Amazing eh? Who would have thought that virus' behave as virus' always have done?

I see the scariant was doing the rounds over the weekend. Indian Variant on Friday was going to come and do us over, then its been rowed back on vigourously but not enough to threaten the population that if they "don't behave" opening up of lockdown will be delayed. Its such a manipulative...

I would agree that NPI have a role. We do agree there. In fact some npi like providing assistance to the vulnerable, special measures in some environments would have done a huge amount. Stopping people sitting on park benches, monitoring how many people meet in small gatherings, shutting...

I politely suggest you are being a silly billy.

I was pretty much bang on. I could see it from the graphs and data, it was obvious. We will see a slower decline and - miraculously - it will end up looking similar to all the other viral curves. If I was one day out on the peak it doesn't really matter - the virus does not increase...

Strawman. You must desist from ad hominem attacks on people. You haven't presented proof of anything. You have just been advocating lockdowns but ignoring the very real side effects of them which will emerge as far worse

There's no such thing as "collapse" anyway.
